Backyard Birding at Pak Chong

After the excitement at Hup Pa Tat, we move to our next stop - Pak Chong. It will be at least another 4 hours journey.

As usual, we stop along the way for buying some local fruits and lunch. It was about 2.30pm when we reached Pak Chong. After check-in to our accommodation and left our luggage. We start our birding around Pak Chong.
Greater Coucal
What an unexpected find of this Greater Coucal out in the open. There is another bird on top of the tree - a Hoopoe. Fly away before I could take any shot.
Spotted Owlet
 Another unexpected find! This Spotted Owlet was out from the nest to greet us!
Sooty-headed Bulbul
The temperature rising after the rain and these birds just know how to cold themselves off. SUch as this Sooty-headed Bulbul.
Scaly Breasted Munia
 More birds join the fun - flock of Scaly Breasted Munia.
Red-wattled Lapwing
 This Red-wattled Lapwing as noisy as usual. From far we know her existence.
Indian Roller
Just before we go to our next destination - Pak Chong Market, we saw this Indian Roller pose nicely for us to shoot. Not bad for a short birding session at Pak Chong.
